Hey All,
I'm sure someone has brought this up before but i just can't find what
i'm looking for in the archives.  My appoligies if this is totally
obvious.  I have a
seperate box for squidguard.  Unfoutrunately teachers and students
have to share machines sometimes.   I'd like for teachers not to be
blocked so they can check their web email. I'd also like to lock down
the sutdents browsers.  Is there a way to permanently set the proxy
settings on a per group or user basis?  Again, static ips for the
teachers and an acl rule to pass is not really an  option.   Seems
like their should be something in webmin.  Please help, I'm really
scratching my head on this one. This is sort of a crazy idea but ,
maybey someone could develop a mac spoofing bootrom.   The teachers
could have their own special floppy and enter a predefined mac. Then I
could asign a static ip and have an acl rule. to pass.  Another
option:  I'd rather not have to sacrifice a terminal for this but I
could clone my squidbox change the ip, make go into emergency mode the
point the teachers browsers to it (a much smaller list than the
students). Is anyone doing it like this? Is there a better way?

Thanks.
Peter
